Sandy and front desk staff was great! Room and building was clean. That being said, the bartending staff was extremely RUDE, unprofessional and terrible at their jobs. If I were management, I would look into replacing them sooner than later. Not sure we will visit again because of

Rooms were clean, water park was fun, hotel was quiet! What would I do different? I’d bring a clothes drying rack because there’s no wear to hang your swimsuits or towels and housekeeping is not daily.

This property was not great. We booked for for the water park only to find out after booking that the water park was closed, and given no opportunity to change our reservations or cancel them. We had a group of 11 travelling, 6 of which are kids and there was no amenities for them. Very disappointing.
